Community Health Inspector Jobs 2026: Rs. 50,000/Month, Apply by 16 August
By Mohaiuddin | EduHire
The Punjab Government, under the Maryam Nawaz Community Health Inspector (CHI) Program, has opened a new round of applications for female health professionals — Community Midwives (CMW), Lady Health Visitors (LHV), Midwives, and Family Welfare Workers (FWW). This isn’t a one-time announcement; it’s an ongoing province-wide recruitment drive that’s been running in phases through 2026, and this is the current open round, closing 16 August 2026.
If you’re a qualified female health worker with PNMC registration, this is worth serious consideration — it’s a government-backed program with a genuinely competitive monthly package for community-level health work, close to home rather than requiring relocation to a major hospital.
Official application portal: chi.pshealthpunjab.gov.pk — apply only through this official government domain. Avoid third-party links or anyone asking for payment to “process” or guarantee your application; this is a Primary & Secondary Healthcare Department (P&SHD), Government of Punjab initiative, and legitimate government recruitment doesn’t charge candidates for participation.
Quick Overview
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Program | Maryam Nawaz Community Health Inspector (CHI) Program |

| Position | Community Health Inspector |
| Eligible Candidates | Female — CMW, LHV, Midwife, FWW (PNMC registered) |

Eligibility Criteria
To apply, you must hold one of the following qualifications, with current registration in the Pakistan Nursing and Midwifery Council (PNMC):
- Community Midwife (CMW)
- Lady Health Visitor (LHV)
- Midwife
- Family Welfare Worker (FWW)
Age limit: Maximum 43 years at the time of application.
Coverage: Applications are open to eligible women from every district of Punjab — this isn’t restricted to a handful of cities.
If your PNMC registration has lapsed or was never completed, this is the first thing to resolve — it’s listed as a mandatory requirement, not something you can complete after applying.
Why This Program Is Worth Considering
A few things make this different from a typical short-term government contract post:
- It’s part of a large, structural healthcare initiative, not an isolated hiring announcement — the broader program is reportedly aiming to bring on thousands of Community Health Inspectors across Punjab, working alongside the province’s existing Lady Health Worker network.
- You work close to home. The program is explicitly framed around serving your own community — reducing commute and relocation burden that comes with many government health postings.
- Career progression is built into the pitch — the official materials highlight training, skill development, and professional advancement opportunities alongside the base compensation, not just a flat monthly stipend with no growth path.
That said, treat this as what it appears to be: a contractual/outsourced position rather than a permanent civil-service post, based on how similar CHI recruitment rounds have been structured. Confirm the exact employment terms (contract length, renewal conditions, benefits beyond salary) directly on the official portal or during your application process, since these details can vary slightly by round.
Required Documents
Have these ready before you start your application:
- Original CNIC (National Identity Card)
- PNMC registration certificate
- Copies of educational certificates/documents
- Punjab domicile certificate
- Recent passport-size photograph(s)
How to Apply
- Visit the official portal: chi.pshealthpunjab.gov.pk
- Read the eligibility criteria and instructions carefully before starting
- Complete the online application form with accurate personal, educational, and professional details
- Select your district — some placements may be tied to your district of residence
- Upload the required documents (CNIC, PNMC certificate, educational documents, domicile, photograph)
- Submit before 16 August 2026
Practical tip: don’t wait until the final day. Government application portals in Pakistan routinely experience heavy traffic and slowdowns in the last 24–48 hours before a deadline, and previous CHI recruitment rounds have seen exactly this pattern.
What Happens After You Apply
Based on how earlier rounds of this program have been run: candidates are typically shortlisted based on qualification and district-wise quota, followed by an interview and basic screening/test stage. Selected candidates then undergo basic training before being deployed to their community posting. Keep your contact information accurate and up to date on your application — communication about shortlisting and test/interview scheduling is generally sent via SMS or email.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a permanent government job?
Based on how this program has been structured in earlier recruitment rounds, positions appear to be contractual/outsourced rather than permanent civil-service appointments. Confirm exact terms during your application.
Is there an application fee?
No fee is mentioned in the official program materials. Be cautious of anyone contacting you outside the official chi.pshealthpunjab.gov.pk portal asking for payment.
Can candidates from any district in Punjab apply?
Yes, this program covers all districts of Punjab, though some placements may be tied to your district of residence — check the portal for district-specific instructions.
What if I missed an earlier round’s deadline (April, May, or June 2026)?
This program has run in multiple rounds throughout 2026 with different deadlines. If you missed an earlier one, this current round (closing 16 August 2026) is a fresh opportunity to apply.
Is Charge Nurse qualification accepted, in addition to CMW/LHV/Midwife/FWW?
Some earlier rounds of this program have listed Charge Nurse as an additional eligible qualification. Since eligible categories can vary slightly between rounds, confirm the exact accepted qualifications listed for this specific round on the official portal before applying.
